[#0000FF]I suspect more Willardites do not hit the lake after dark because of the stupid gates and the greedy rules that make you have to pay a camping fee if you stay late. Too much hassle.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I assure you that in the "olden days" a lot of wallie chasers did not even get on the water until almost dark anytime after about mid June. I used to drive in through the open gate about 2 in the morning and fish until 9 or 10. In those days the main forage species was crappies and they stayed near the dikes. So casting Thin Fins or plastics along the dikes usually produced a lot of action...until the sun got too high and the walleyes went to bed for the day.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I have fished walleyes in several parts of the country and night fishing during the summer is usually the accepted pattern...except where water temps stay cooler in the summer.
